❝ Gwen, my dear honey bunches of choas, you’re plan sounds completely insane and chaotic and possibly stupid. So, you better count me in! ❞ ━━ Derek Mills

Chapter Three
Marching down a long and dimly lit hallway, Bucky was surrounded by men armed with guns and stun sticks that wouldn't hesitate to be used if Bucky attempted to run.
They all turned into an open door and as Bucky entered he could just make out the machinery that Hydra used to wipe his memory and once the armed guards parted, there sat the chair that haunted his nightmares.
He swallowed hard as he felt his pulse quicken and every hair on his body stood on end. Bucky heard footsteps approach and from the dark emerged a tall man with a bald head and a scar on the left side of his jaw, "what a sight this is to behold."
The man stopped just to the side of the chair and placed a hand almost reverently on the very top where Bucky's head would be, "I'm pleased to welcome you back with us. I was sad to see Ms. Williams go, though."
Bucky gritted his teeth and curled his hands into fists at the mention of Sydney, "you don't talk about her ever! You hear me?"
The man simply smiled at Bucky, "your protective side is heartwarming but soon enough you won't remember her at all."
Bucky felt a pair of hands on his back shove him forward and he slowly stepped toward the chair before turning and sitting down.
"Take a moment for yourself while we prepare everything because you won't have a chance once it starts." The man placed his hand on Bucky's shoulder and leaned in close, "welcome home."
Sydney rolled onto her back and stared at the ceiling. She had been awake now for about fifteen minutes just hoping to fall back asleep even for a minute more but it wasn't going to happen, not this time at least.
She also was dreading being in the apartment without Steve as he had to attend to some world crisis that required The Avengers' help. He hadn't left her alone, however, as much as she protested. Her "bodyguard" was out in the kitchen and she didn't really want to deal with meeting him or her right now, but her stomach grumbled rather loudly to remind her that she hadn't really been eating much as of late and it would like that rectified.
Throwing her blankets off with a sigh, Sydney got out of bed and made her way to her door and realizing she couldn't hide in her room until Steve returned she opened the door and walked out into the hallway and stopped just where the kitchen and living room both start.
She saw a tall African-American man at the sink rinsing off the dirty dishes from the night before and Sydney swore she heard him humming to himself. It actually brought a smile to her face once she caught what the song was and she decided it was time to announce her presence and she cleared her throat audibly.
"Well, good morning." The stranger said looking over his shoulder with a smile at Sydney then wiping his hands off on a towel he turned and walked to the island.
"Hi, stranger in my apartment." He smiled chuckling softly, "sorry. My name's Derek and it's nice to meet you, Sydney."
She nodded politely as she looked at him feeling like she had seen him before but wasn't sure from where, "I thought about introducing myself once we landed to refuel but it wasn't the time or the place."
"You were talking to Steve while the doctor was checking me over." Sydney remembered.
"That's right."
"Is that when he asked you to be my babysitter?" Sydney asked as she took a seat at the island and smiled hoping to mask her irritation.
"No, not at all. I offered actually and not to be a babysitter as you called it. I know you're a smart, independent, strong, and beautiful young woman that cares more for others than yourself."
Sydney stared at Derek and his brown eyes that gave off such warmth she couldn't help but feel it finding a way into her heart and she smiled blushing slightly, "thanks."
"Of course, sweetheart." Derek said with a wink earning a sideways look from Sydney, "you know I have a boyfriend."
"I do, too."
She sat dumbfounded as her brain caught up with her ears, "you're-"
"Gay. One hundred percent. Is that okay?" He asked with a hint of nervousness.
"Okay? That's better than okay. Derek, that's fantastic." He beamed at her and mimed wiping his brow, "that's a relief."
"Wait a second. Does Steve know?" Sydney asked quickly checking her memory bank of any past conversations with Bucky that dealt with such themes.
Derek nodded, "he does. I wasn't sure how he'd take it, to be honest. I guess I had this idea that Captain America was going to be a hard ass traditionalist or conservative on some issues but he's proven me wrong. I'm happy to say."
"Bucky won't have any issues either in case you're worried. He might have questions, though."
"I will be happy to answer them if he does."
Sydney smiled getting up and began walking around the island stopping in front of one of the cupboards. She opened it and pulled out a box of cereal and turning to grab a bowl she saw Derek had placed one on the counter along with the carton of milk, "thanks."
"May I ask you a question?" Derek asked with a mischievous glint in his eye as she sat back down at the island with her breakfast.
